Reflux: The Impact on Our Patients and Evidence Based Treatments; Part 1

This is Part 1 of a two-part series that will provide an overview of reflux and its impact on our patients. Part 1 will focus on particular disorders that contribute to reflux, and the various treatment options that are available. This course is open captioned. (Part 2 - Course #7532)

I cannot believe how much I learned from this! I have noticed the increase in patients presenting with normal Pharyngeal swallow function during MBS, but c/o constant globus, etc. Now I know that it truly is increasing dramatically, the difference between Gerd and LPR, and so much more!

Information was presented in an organized and concise manner, and accompanying handouts were easy to follow and well thought out. This topic is timely and relevant, as GI disorders continue to increase in the general population (and we as SLP's need to be aware of the s/s and of each type of reflux). Whenever I have the chance to take an e-seminar from this presenter I do, because she is so knowledgeable, experienced, and on point.
